Revisiting THE BLACK TOWER!

Here it is, and it is only a "compress" after all. It just looks sinister.

 Lots of ribbon wire.

We are looking right into the facility.

 Telephoto used here...

More views.

That's it for the BLACK TOWER site. Now we transition to a street that runs behind "Mrs. Baird's" bakery. Interesting area, I think. Not far from McKenzie Park. Right across the street.
Smells like freshly baked bread. Nice.

 The bakery has been here for many years!

 Not everything you see back here has a connection to the bakery.

 Dumped mattresses are all over town. This site is no exception.

 It's a kind of industrial zone. There are several small businesses back here.

You find the usual junk.

 You find funky vents.

 You find more piles of junk.

 There's a fifties Oldsmobile hidden back here. It needs some TLC.

 You find enigmatic objects.

Keep out. How do you become authorized personnel? 

 Mysterious ribbon-like stuff... it's woven into the fence!

 Lots of undeveloped land.

 A few ruins.

 Part of an old tourist court that nobody seems to remember.

Now it attracts a lot of graffiti. There was a nightclub/bar/restaurant associated with this place. Also a swimming pool on a bluff overlooking the park. And yet, nobody remembers it.

There's all kinds of stuff hidden back here.

I visited my wife's grave. I do that from time to time, in an effort to come to terms with my new reality. Not easy. Never easy.

 She is not in this precise area.

 An abandoned house near the cemetery entrance...

 It is not the best area.

Right across from the derelict house there's a funky little church.

 Leaving the cemetery, I'm about to turn South onto MLK.

 I got onto East 38th, or close to it-- another light industrial zone.

Warehouses are common in this area.

I leave you with a shot of Lubbock infrastructure.
